khamba | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: At a peak of my dev career, I hate my life
Thank you for posting this. I was reconsidering writing a response to that, but you phrased it very well.
An excellent eye opening article I have read about this: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/N2pENnTPB75sfc9kb/outside-th... which discusses scientists believing in religion. The arguments also apply to any rational person who forms beliefs based on evidence which I would say is a necessary property to be intelligent. Hence it irks me when someone says "intelligent people believe in god too"

Individual Contributor. ICs are not managers, or Team Leads, or any of people leading positions.

Equities are not (marketed as) a USD alternative? This is a bad faith argument.

> Fake reviews are not that hard to spot.
This statement seems very suspect to confirmation bias. How would you get to know if what you think is genuine was actually fake? This part of feedback loop is completely missing, and hence I find your above statement hard to believe.

Although I do not disagree with your comment, I would do a double take befpre accepting the source you cite because they are very much incentived to proclaim the result they proclaim.

Yes, it states so in the original article.

A sibling comment suggests deleting the card, but I personally like to use the suspend feature.

A better example of a Republic that is not a democracy is Vatican City.

> Can someone explain the downvotes?
Someone may have taken your comment as a defense of the article not publishing year (which is a ridiculous defense) and hence the downvotes.
It is definitely really bad UX if you have to "view source" to find information.
khamba | 5 years ago | on: Should I Use a Carousel?
I agree with what you are saying.
> Carousels are good for things users should be vaguely aware of but are not likely to click on
Carousels should be used to set the _tone_ of the webpage, and not be meant for content to be clicked on.
For example, all major fashion e-commerce website dedicate large amount of homepage screen-estate to a carousel showing their major brands, current discounts, etc. The user can still use the search or menu functionality to look for what they want (and I think majority do), but now the tone of the business has been set.

Could you recommend a good CBT book?

Thanks for the youtube link. Seems interesting. I am going to watch it in full.
khamba | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: What problem in your industry is a potential startup?
This looks interesting. Is there any solution that you are already using?
> especially when someone needs to touch the code
Do you not generally touch the code? Is some kind of WYSIWYG editor used to create an email or is the code human written?

I felt it was justified after you called their opinion a "junior's" rant.
